The data is clear: An MBA is among the fastest paths to a higher-earning career.

Just 20 months can supercharge your upward mobility, open up new opportunities, and increase your earning potential by up to 70%.

You don’t need to stop working, either.

Wake Forest University’s local MBA program makes it possible to learn while you earn — no matter how many late nights you’re currently slogging through.

From in-person evening classes to fully remote online learning, and even a hybrid mix of both, their flexible formats are designed for working professionals to fit any schedule.

In-Person MBA


For those 9-5ers who thrive in a structured, in-person environment, the evening In-Person MBA offers a cohort-based experience in Charlotte (Mondays + Wednesdays) or Winston-Salem (Tuesdays + Thursdays).

Students have the chance to build a strong network while learning + collaborating alongside the same group of peers from start to finish.

Hybrid MBA


Can’t commit to multiple nights a week? The Hybrid MBA blends online coursework with in-person Saturday sessions in Charlotte. It’s the best of both worlds, adding flexibility while maintaining the tight-knit group format that so many love.

Online MBA


For the busiest among us, Wake Forest University’s 100% Online MBA lets you earn your degree from anywhere in the US.

Students can study on their own schedule, but still enjoy full access to the diversity of classmate experiences, team-based approach, and renowned faculty that helped Wake Forest University become one of the top online MBA programs in the country.

Connect with existing students

WStoday: Brookstown Avenue and Old Salem Road road construction
I was walking around downtown this week and noticed multiple road construction projects, including at the intersection of Brookstown Avenue and Old Salem Road — part of the two-way conversion project by the city. Plus, some parts of I-40 are down to one lane, so be sure to allocate a few extra minutes on your commute.
